Because my carrier is garbage, the only options that meet those criterias are LG G5 and S7. I hear the G5 has shittier battery life and the S7 has touchjizz that supposedly sucks. What should I get?

>4 inch screen
Z3C/Z5C are your best bet, they have a 4.6" screen but very close in size (mms away) from the iPhone 5/5S/SE, thanks to smaller bezels. Good specs too, it's the only small phone in the Android world that makes no compromises on the internals.

>5 inch screen
Many, many more options in this size range. Again, Sony's Z3/Z5 (full size) is a contender, along with the HTC 10 that is coming out (announcement soon). None of these have removable batteries, but the only mainstream decent phone that has them is the LG G series which you don't like the size of.

One note about the Sony phones, is that they have a glass back and are prone to cracking, sometimes even "spontaneously" (likely due to heat).

For real though just don't. Get an android phone with a microsd slot instead. I was about to make the same mistake and then I found out 128GB UHS-I microsd cards cost $30-40.

You're literally paying for less with the iPhone SE, you're going to deeply regret it later.

Look, nobody buying the SE is doing it because they care about a fucking SD slot. It's the cheapest iphone ever that's why so many android poorfags are switching to it.

Well no fucking duh but they are still fucking themselves over big time especially if they get the 16GB $400 variant. 16GB of storage is not enough for anyone. People download music/movies/tv shows and like watching them in bed or on the go. Those who are stupid enough to get the 16GB iPhone SE will regret it for the rest of their lives.

I know iPhones, Xperias, and the new Galaxy stuff all have non-replaceable batteries.

For a heavy user who recharges once a day and again overnight, if not more, how long will that battery last? Will companies do a replacement/swap with no questions asked if under warranty?

I'm debating splurging on a flagship later this year and running with it for as long as viable (or at least 3/4 years)

tl;dr: how long do phones with sealed batteries last?

There's been a lot of quality issues with G5. However, I got mine 2 days ago from Verizon and I haven't had any issues so far. Some people are experiencing screen bleeding, gaps between the chin and the phone, poor call quality, etc.

I'd go with S7 for a safer bet.

Ipad for that. The phone I need will mostly be used for business and people contact. The only downside is the 1.2 MP facetime camera. 16GB is fine for me, and will be fine for most. Most iphones sold are the 16GB model. People just don't need that much space despite what all these meme tech journalists claim.

You guys are not going to want to hear this, but I'll be as blunt as possible.

I have seen probably 12 different phones go through my family in the last 4 years.

Here's the truth of it all: if you want a phone that gets the job done and will be dependable and supported by pretty much any exterior device/application/process, then it's a mistake to get anything that is NOT an iPhone or galaxy.
If you go with anything else right now, you're taking a risk. The other phones are nice in their own ways. I love the speakers on the HTC One m series. The LG G series has its own perks. Even the Lumia phones have their own pluses.
But the fact is, they're just not supported enough due to their install bases.

With iPhone and galaxy, the process you want to work will ALWAYS work, there will ALWAYS be accessories for those phones in ANY store that caters to phones at all. Want a case? no problem, we have 20. want a case for you HTC m9? Well, we can always cut this one to fit yours...

So if you're going rouge, if that Blackberry 10 Leap or LG G5 entices you, just remember, you're experimenting. Don't be surprised when the world isn't reaching out to support your device like it does with iphones and galaxies.

ifag here, thinking about switching. Heres what I'm looking for:

>around 5 inch screen
>minimal design (nexus 6p, one plus x, z5c are designs i like)
>great battery
>camera is semi important but im willing to sacrifice here
>really want AMOLED
>microSD is a plus but not required
>stock android, if a custom rom is available thats fine

5X is looking like my ticket but I hear the battery life is average and the 6p is just a better device overall. Honestly I'd be happy with the One Plus X if it weren't for the bands issue. The S7 looks great but I absolutely can't stand touchwiz and I'm not sure how likely a stock rom would be. I'd like to keep the phone under 400 if possible.

I've never owned a smart phone. I now have a job that allows me to pretty much purchase any smart phone I want. I'm planning on trying Project Fi for my carrier and getting a 64GB Nexus 6P.

I have a gold s7 edge with a spigen neo hybrid crystal case, and it looks stunning. People stare at it whenever they see it outside.

I like the edge function, I mainly use it for my most frequently used apps, so I don't have to clutter the background.

Better battery life.

Bigger screen.

You can't go wrong with either, but the S7 edge is 100% worth the 100 bucks more.

Stop caring about little details like how your fucking settings look. Do you have ocd or something.

I didn't get a 6p because no sd card, bad audio quality through headphones. I've seen a lot of posts of people saying they're upgrading from a 6p to an s7. S7 has better audio quality through headphones, in fact even audiophiles are happy with it. Better screen, battery camera, more features, better looks and better build.

Hey /g/

I'm currently searching the web and the Google play Store for a certain kind of app that I thought of today.

I don't know if this app exists or even really what terms to use to search for it.

I enjoy my job for the most part but I find myself getting antsy a lot of days and trying to get shit done to leave early, but I get paid hourly so leaving early hurts me financially. It's a frustrating mental back and forth.

An idea popped into my head today to help me motivate myself -

(tl;dr:)

I'd love an app that I could start at the beginning of my shift like a stop watch, but it's running with my hourly wage as a multiplayer so I could check this app running in the background and it would tell me how much money I have made at any time. Like how the price rolls up at the gas pump.

That way I could aim at dollar amounts to stay until, instead of looking forward to 5pm or trying to get out sooner.

Any one know of anything like that?

You can have them on your note 5… google is your friend. iPhones are for all practical purposes dogshit. I used to own an iPhone 6S plus before I sold it and got an zenfone 2. Funny thing is my iPhone 6S plus used to lag hard as fuck. iPhones are fast but only at the beginning, the lack of RAM eventually catches up and you begin to experience apps/web pages lagging and reloading more and more.

No, iPhones lag more than android phones as time goes on due to the lower amount of RAM.

Just bought one on Saturday, upgraded from an LG G2

I am fucking in love with it so far.

I was a little nervous cuz every is always like hurr durr touchjizz but I have literally zero complaints so far. I think I even like it better than LGs UI, especially with the new themes I can download and apply to all the major UI elements.

>>53890762
If those are the only options I would go for the Priv, and I don't really care for a hardware keyboard. It's just that Samsung is so shitty, and iOS is so locked down.

Although with the Priv you'll always be a half a year behind on Android updates, although Samsung is usually not any better. Nexus or bust imho.

>>53890777
6 is still only a year and a half old. They usually cripple the old phones after a few years to get you to buy a new model. See the 4S class action lawsuit.

Samsung phones lag out of the box because of touchwiz (Samsung can't into software).

Lucky trips checked. Well I guess I'm not a turbo-nerd like you so I don't know what hacking program/script shit you made over the course of months in your mom's basement to keep your iPhone snappy but my iPhone 6S started to lag hard after a while.

Resets to 0.00 when the phone auto rotates to landscape. The app runs in the background but skips back and forth in amount whenever you re enter the app.
